CCB News, Beijing, September 26 (Reporter Meng Xiaoguang, Shijiazhuang Station, reporter Lin Yan) According to the Voice of China “News Evening Peak” report, the 19th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the XIII People’s Congress of Hebei Province was deliberate and approved a few days ago The “Regulation of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Hebei Province on Strict Economy and Opposition to Food Waste” (hereinafter, the “Regulation”) will be implemented on November 1 of this year.
This is the first local regulation at the provincial level in the country that specifically focuses on the treatment of food waste. It can be said that it provides a rule-of-law solution to solve the key and difficult problems of food waste, and has attracted the attention and expectations of society.
So, what are the main contents of this law? How will it be implemented?
The “Regulations” promulgated by Hebei Province this time consists of 37 articles, divided into five parts, which focus on the legislative purposes and principles, the responsibilities of the government and various departments, the codes of conduct of catering entities, supervision and inspection and legal responsibilities. . It is understood that on August 28, Hebei Province established a special class for legislative work, soliciting 300 suggestions from relevant departments, universities, enterprises and grassroots contact points, and conducting legislative research in Shijiazhuang and elsewhere. After many revisions and improvements, it was finally approved by the 19th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People’s Congress of Hebei Province. Zhou Ying, Director of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial People’s Congress, said: “In recent years, various regions and departments in our province have taken various measures to carry out ‘DC Action’, and the debris wind has been effectively braked. However, with the improvement of material living conditions. Affected by unscientific and uncivilized consumer habits, such as ostentation, generosity and the face of conscience, food waste remains prominent and must be addressed with great efforts. “
As a small and creative law, the “Regulation” highlights many local features in the legislative process, integrates core socialist values into it, and strives to improve the relevance and operability of the regulations, in order to ensure that these regulations are ” really effective and effective “. It can land. “Guo Hong, deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial People’s Congress, said that the implementation of the” Regulations “will provide an important system guarantee for Hebei to promote curbing food waste and changing uncivilized consumption habits. “Encourage people to practice ‘CD Action’, strictly implement the standards for official reception, meetings, training and business trips, and promote the building of economic institutions. It is strictly forbidden to organize banquets or parties in the name of meetings and training, “said Guo Hong.
The “Regulation” also provides clear measures for a number of specific and common waste scenarios. The “Regulations” require the unit canteen to improve management standards and the system of supervision and inspection of inexpensive meals, establish a system of reservation of meals on demand, provide meals in accordance with the principles of health and simplicity; incorporate conservation education into classroom teaching and carry out special education and experience In the activity, the performance of strict economy and opposition to food waste was included in the ethics and style evaluation system teaching, the comprehensive quality of the students, the civilized campus and the cafeteria. Guo Hong said: “Schools and kindergartens should establish systems of supervision and inspection of food savings in canteens, rewards and punishments, evaluation and accountability; establish incentive mechanisms to encourage and guide students to participate. actively in the ‘Action CD’ “.
The “Regulation” also proposed to strengthen consumption supervision and promote the establishment of a long-term mechanism. The emphasis is on standardizing the strict economics of catering operators and opposing catering waste. Catering operators must provide specifications for half-portion and small-portion dishes, and implement a half-portion, half-price, and small-portion business method at an affordable price, to guide consumers in saving meals. Guo Hong said: “Establish a reminder system that calls for proper pre-ordering before meals and provides packaged services after meals. Consumers should not be induced to over-order meals and no minimum consumption should be set. Consumers Meal-savers can receive points, discounts and parking concessions. Give rewards in several ways. “
It is understood that the “Regulation” will come into force on November 1, 2020. From now on, Hebei Province will carry out a three-month special action on strict economy and against food waste in the province by field, industry and stage in accordance with the inspection, special rectification, evaluation and acceptance guidance procedures. Guo Hong said, “In the initial stage, I estimate that I will advance ‘DC Action’. The focus is to strengthen publicity and education, and deepen the implementation and implementation of the Regulations.”
At the same time, the “Regulation” also specifically clarifies that online radio, television, and audio and video service providers prohibit the production, transmission and dissemination of fake food, vomiting, excessive eating, exaggeration and curiosity and other outlandish behavior. . Violators will be punished accordingly.
In fact, in the past two years, not only Hebei, but many places as well, have conducted pioneering explorations around legislation to stop food waste based on practical experience. For example, in January this year, Jiangsu issued the “Jiangsu Province Grain Circulation Regulations”, which stipulate that local population governments at the county level or above and their relevant departments should strengthen the advertising and education about food and food savings; in July, Chongqing plans to legislate to promote civilized meals and ban food waste; In September, the “Guangzhou City Regulation on Waste Catering (Draft for Comments)” was published, proposing to designate the first week of August each year as the advertising week against waste catering …
In fact, promotion alone is obviously not enough to stop food waste. The “nothing to trust” dilemma actually justifies some extravagance and waste. Therefore, whether leading the diligence and savings trend, or from the perspective of ensuring national food security, strengthening legislation, strengthening supervision, adopting effective measures, establishing long-term mechanisms and resolutely curbing the waste of Food is an urgent and widespread trend.Return to Sohu to see more
